Half-price specials: Best Woolworths, Coles deals this week

A bunch of grocery items are sold for half-price at Coles and Woolworths each week.

These bargains are not on sale to make money, but rather to get customer feet through the door. Each supermarket is betting that anyone shopping at their store are likely not to go to their rival that week.

And any full-price groceries sold would make up for the margins lost on the discounted items.

Woolworths and Coles also use the 50%-off deals to differentiate themselves from upstart Aldi Australia. The budget retailer has its own weekly deals but can't quite match the discounting of the big boys in terms of percentage off.
